Just got larger injectors-quick question

wes kiser · Post by **wes kiser** » Fri Jun 23, 2006 12:32 pm

In the cranking fuel tables, is the number in the table the actual pulsewidth, or is the offset added on top of the table value? The reason I ask is I want to know if I need to scale it directly, or subtract it from the offset and then scale that number. Thanks, got my 85 lb/hr's so I can run e85 later, and fixing to drop them in. In my case, it will make a huge difference, because the offset is already close to the same as my warm cranking pulsewideth.

Got it running. It looks like they were the actual pulsewidth

It is amazing how well the ms2 handles injectors that large. I had to bump the offset down from 1 to .9 , but it is happily idling with a 14.0: 1 afr (same as before), and the pulsewidth is only 1.4 msec at idle. This is with 85lb/hr injectors (that is close to 900cc for you metric types) on a 2.3 liter engine.

Holy crap. You must plan on making some big power.

Not really that big, the 52's that were in there were almost big enough. I am wanting to run flex fuel (or at leat ethanol sometime). I came across an unbelievable deal on these injectors, so just though I might as well go big. The car probably makes about 300 rwhp on the pump gas safe tune, and on race gas or ethanol could probably get close to 400. With ethanol these will be probably at a 80% duty cycle.

I'm pimping 96's on a 1.9 lawl. I can't turn the fuel down enough. It idles at 1500 and won't go higher then 12.8:1. I wish I had flex fuel in the area...the the higher amount of feal you need to inject with flex, I should be sitting pretty with a good a/f .... but the closet FF station is about 4-5 hours from here

Have you tried bumping down the injector offset (and obviously the pwm high current time to the same amount)? Then again 96's on a 1.9 are pretty huge. How much power are you making, and what kind of engine is it?

Sam, i'm running 86#ers and I don't have any idle problems with it, it idles around 13.7-14 once the car is warmed out. Sits at about 900 rpm.

Highbeam,

If you study the link I gave you in the other thread, you'll realize that the injectors are way too big for MS-I, which can only adjust the fuel in 0.1 millisecond steps. MS-II can adjust the fuel in .001 millisecond steps (100 times better), so it would work better (and is what wes kiser is running).

Lance.

That's good to hear, since I picked up 85lbers for my truck, and I was afraid that it might be tough to tune, since they're bigger than what I currently need. I got the MSII tho, for just that reason. Glad to hear that it can handle it. I'll be installing it next month, then the fun begins
